Police in Norway are investigating an explosion that occurred early Sunday outside the U.S. Embassy in Oslo. No one was injured in the blast, which was reported around 1 a.m. after witnesses heard a “loud bang,” according to Oslo police.
Authorities said the explosion was caused by an incendiary device, likely placed in a backpack, that detonated near the entrance to the embassy’s Consular Affairs office. The blast caused damage to the embassy’s entrance, but no arrests have been made. Oslo police are exploring multiple possibilities for the motive and are actively searching for those responsible. Witnesses reported thick smoke on the street following the explosion. Norway’s police security service deployed additional personnel, though the national terror threat level remains unchanged. Justice Minister Astri Aas-Hansen called the incident “unacceptable” and confirmed authorities are dedicating significant resources to the investigation while ensuring the public is not at risk.
